Co-ParentMatch.com - an introductory site for sperm donors, recipients and co-parents - put out the call to action on their Facebook page some time ago, and it's since gone viral.

"WANTED GINGER Sperm Donors. #SaveGingers Tag a ginger mate who would make a great donor."

Co-ParentMatch.com was founded by a lesbian couple in 2006 who were finding it hard to find a known sperm donor or co-parent. They had very few options apart from expensive sperm banks and so decided to create the matching site.

They say they 'love helping people to find their perfect donor or parenting partner' - if you're a caring ginger who wants to help people complete their families with a little red-headed baby, you can sign up here .
